my bucket list

my best friend made a bucket list and i thought it was a pretty cool idea. i never heard of a bucket list before and i don't know why it's called a bucket list... why a "bucket?" hmm.. well, anyway, i figured i'd start on my very own list because i love lists and i think they're so fun to create, haha. here's my work-in-progress in no particular order:

-- explore a cavern to see the stalagmites and stalactites
-- go star-gazing
-- go fishing
-- go on a hike
-- ride a horse
-- attend a celine dion concert
-- travel to europe
-- make an impact on someone's life
-- see the niagara falls
-- verbally say those 3 little words to my parents
--give my dad a hug-- see my family come to Christ
-- take a cake baking/decorating class
-- take a painting class
-- take my mom on many trips (she wants to explore the world)
-- see my relatives all together in one place
-- buy a lottery ticket (i still can't believe i haven't bought one yet)
-- be able to successfully rap a song
-- see jeremy lin play LIVE!!
-- see derrick rose play LIVE!!
-- go to a lakers game
-- be super involved at church (whether it's at Hope or elsewhere)
-- read the whole bible (my one-year reading plan has been going well so far!)
-- participate in a nonprofit organization
-- sponsor a child(ren)
-- complete my pooh bear 1000-pieces photo mosaic puzzle
--explore SF (i'm from the bay and i have yet to explore SF -.- )-- try out the many baking/cooking recipes that i've accumulated over the years
-- host a fancy dinner party for my friends and go all out! (now i definitely need to learn how to cook, haha)
-- host either a thanksgiving or christmas dinner for my relatives
-- grow my own tomato plant (i got this idea from a '90s k-drama, "tomato," haha!)
-- attend an african american church service (i love gospel music!)
-- fly a kite
-- go to an observatory and look through the huge telescope (i love astronomy)
-- see the bioluminescent red tide that creates glow-in-the-dark ocean waves
-- make a snowman
-- go strawberry picking (or any type of fruit-picking)-- spoil my cousins' and closest friends' future babies (haha :D)
-- watch jabbawockeez perform LIVE

... this is my list so far. there are a lot more things i'd like to do (some that i shall not list because they're either too cheesy or embarrassing, or just because i don't want to, hehe :P ) and i'm sure i'll come back to this list and add things here and there. i hope that when i come back to this list in the later future, i'll be able to cross off some of these activities, especially those that involve family :)
